Senior Hardware Design Engineer

ENODA's world-class team is building the first truly decentralised, intelligent energy system that will reshape how we generate, store, and distribute energy.  

Foundational to our holistic and integrated platform approach, the Enoda PRIME Exchanger is a first-of-a-kind dynamic power flow hardware designed to maintain "on-target" frequency and voltage, increasing grid efficiency and capacity for distributed energy sources like renewables and EVs.  

Enoda ENSEMBLE is our ecosystem co-ordinator of ENODA and third-party assets, able to forecast, aggregate, and bid capacity in real time, functioning as a networked "operating system" for the electrical grid.  

This is more than simply managing electricity flow. It is about creating the foundational system to prepare for a radically more capable, prosperous, and intelligent future.  

We have an opportunity for an experienced Electronics Hardware Design Engineer to join our business as we continue to scale. 

You will be responsible for leading end-to-end design of electronic circuits and systems, from concept through to schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, testing, and validation.

Working within a larger multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing and other domain experts to deliver robust, compliant and cost-effective designs meeting performance and regulatory requirements.

• Independently deliver robust, compliant, and cost-effective electronic hardware designs that meet functional and performance requirements, demonstrating full ownership of assigned projects.
• Lead and drive the full hardware development cycle – from concept and requirements definition through to design, validation, and release to manufacturing, with minimal oversight. Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical safety, EMC and environmental standards.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical safety, EMC, and environmental standards, proactively identifying and mitigating risks. Drive continuous improvement in design processes, documentation, and test methodologies.
• Collaborate cross-functionally and influence multidisciplinary teams (firmware, mechanical, electrical, systems, and manufacturing) to achieve integrated, high-quality products.
• Initiate and lead continuous improvement efforts in design processes, documentation, and test methodologies, setting best practices for the team.
• Champion product reliability, maintainability, and cost reduction initiatives, identifying strategic opportunities and driving implementation.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
• Own and lead technical initiatives, ensuring alignment with business goals and delivering measurable impact.

The role is based on site at the Quartermile in Edinburgh. 

• Design experience with multi-layer PCB with multiple design interfaces including digital, FPGA, MCU, power supply and mixed-signals.
• Experience with sensor integration and robust measurement techniques (Rogowski, voltage dividers, filtering, integration, op-amps).
• Design for power electronics (Inverters/converters/high-frequency gate-drives)
• Running simulations and calculations of discrete circuit designs.
• Conducting hands-on debugging, bring-up, and validation of new hardware.
• Developing test plans and procedures for prototype evaluation and design verification.
• Creating manufacturing data packs and documentation that comply with both company and industry-standard processes (Design specifications/calculations, design reviews, DFMEA, test procedures)
• Assisting with work package planning and scheduling to meet project milestones.
• Validating manufacturing data to ensure compliance with supplier capability.
• Liaising effectively with external suppliers, PCB assembly/fabricators.
• Familiar with current industry standard ECAD tools used for PCB design and verification (Ideally Altium).

• Salary circa: £70,000 - £80,000 dependent on skills & experience 
• Private Medical Insurance 
• Flexible Pension policy tailored to your requirements 
• 33 days annual leave + Holiday purchase/sell scheme 
• Dental cash-back scheme 
• Cycle-to-Work scheme 
• Season travel ticket loan 
• Enhanced company sick pay & Income Protection 
• Life Assurance 

ENODA is cultivating an environment where we embrace our vision of sustainable prosperity for everyone. Built on the principles of win-win outcomes and extreme ownership, we strive to act with integrity and be accountable. 

Teams are encouraged to be relentless in the pursuit of scientific truth; we strive on the challenge of solving the most complex problems together. 

Please be advised that the formal interview process for this role will commence in January 2026.
